Inland Waters Increasingly Produce and Emit Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas and currently contributes ∼10% to global greenhouse warming. Studies have suggested that inland waters are a large and growing global N 2 O source…

Abating ammonia is more cost-effective than nitrogen oxides for global mitigation of particulate matter air pollution

Worldwide, more than 4 million people die prematurely every year due to ambient air pollution. This is more than from malnutrition or overweight. Particulate matter (PM2.5, particles smaller than 2.5…

Methods for calculating the emissions of transport in the Netherlands - 2021

This report describes the methodologies, emission factors and relevant activity data used to calculate the historical emissions of environmental pollutants from transport in the Netherlands. The…

Lignite effects on NH3, N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions during composting of manure

Lignite effects on gaseous emissions during composting of manure were examined. Lignite amended manure decreased NH3 emission by 54% during composting process. CO2−emission from lignite treated manure…

Accounting for environmental damage by material production and use

The environmental damage related to the production and use of materials is one of the main motives behind the wide interest in the transition to a circular economy. This study investigates the…

Methods for calculating the emissions of transport in the Netherlands 2020

This report describes the methodologies, emission factors and relevant activity data used to calculate the emissions of environmental pollutants from mobile sources in the Netherlands. The emissions…

Decarbonisation options for the Dutch offshore natural gas industry

This report on decarbonisation options for the Dutch offshore natural gas industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and TNO…

Emissions: world has four times the work or one-third of the time

New synthesis shows what a wasted decade means for the climate pact made in Paris. New research shows that nations must now do much more and much faster to limit global warming to well below 2 °C, let…
